Who did "the govt" buy it from?

I thought it was taxpayer owned.


Federal Land is owned by we, the people, and managed by government entities that are overseen by official who we, the people, elect and send to Washington, D.C., to look after our interests. If so, it seems to me that anybody who has a BLM or FS grazing lease is stealing from all of us if he/she fails to pay his/her lease fees. The BLM is at fault for failing to deal with non-paying grazing lease holders promptly. In fact, I think that I'll contact my Congressman and Senators to inquire why the BLM has failed to deal with Cliven Bundy more aggressively.
